("HaloSource" or the "Company")
Trading Update
HaloSource Inc. (HAL.LN, HALO.LN), the global clean water technology solutions trading on London's AIM, today provides an update on trading ahead of the year ending 31 December 2015.
As a result of some delays in key customer rollouts together with some operational challenges as we increased manufacturing capacity at our Drinking Water facility in China which has temporarily affected our ability to fulfil customer orders, we anticipate that Drinking Water revenues will be impacted negatively during the second half of 2015. However, the Company is confident that these production delays will in no way impact the marketplace demand for its class-leading HaloPure® disinfection technology for 2016 and beyond. Revenues versus 2014 for the Company's Recreational Water and Environmental Water segments are stable but total consolidated revenues for the year ending 31 December 2015 will be materially lower than market expectations and, consequently, the net loss for the full year will be higher than market expectations.
The Company remains confident in the business strategy and growth opportunities as the water technology integrator and solutions provider for global multinational corporations. In particular, the benefits of various operational developments are starting to take effect. These include new product launches by partners such as Panasonic Corporation in India; the emergence in 2015 of another national partner in China using HaloPure® bacteriostatic cartridges in combination with their reverse osmosis systems; improvement in operational performance being realised by the movement to an indirect sales model in its Recreational Water business during 2015; and optimisation of our Environmental Water production and sales coverage implemented in H2 2015.
